What We Can All Learn from Bethenny Frankel

Mega-mogul-bestselling-author-tv-star Bethenny Frankel is on top of the world. Lessons for all of us

I admit, I’m not really into watching reality TV like The Bachelor or Survivor but when it comes to Bethenny Ever After, the show on Bravo about the American dream, um, I mean self-made millionaire Bethenny Frankel, I started to take notice. Week by week on Monday nights I became glued to the TV at 10 p.m. ET for a dose of escape television with a message.

Woman Sex Appeal

Can You Really Use Sex Appeal To Get Ahead In Your Career?

Apparently using "erotic capital" can help you get ahead in the workplace.

Go ahead, be sexy at work. Be flirtatious. It may seem like it sets feminism back 1,000 years to say it, but the fact is, in a male-dominated industry, one of the smartest things a woman can do is use her feminine wiles to rise to the top.

Don't let a busy routine hurt your chance for a happy, loving relationship.

A new study reports that men who flirt in the workplace are bored with their jobs.
